i supported mitt romney with it was down to romney and mccain. i knew john mccain. i knew what kind of conservative he would be. so i landed with romney. he proved me wrong. he went out after the campaign was over and endorsed the wall street bailout. he was for big program and he defended romney care and i wasn't going to be a part of someone who was going to run a campaign where we didn't have a clear contrast between himself and president obama. that's what we need to win this election. megyn: you are still the front runner nationally according to the real clear politics average of all polls. last miewns came out with polls in michigan and arizona. he shows the race tightening in michigan * you were ahead by four points now you are behind by 6 points. so it's been a 10-point sphwhing the wrong direction this week in michigan. what do you think accounts for that and what is going to happen tuesday? >> we feel good. we feel comfortable that we'll do well in michigan, and we'll prosecutorly exceed expectations in arizona. those are two tough states for us. we are go

romney is down a little but not a lot. it looks like he's taking from gingrich. is that true? >> what we have seen consistently throughout this year is mitt romney's numbers have been steady. other candidates have come and gone. nobody has been able to stay in that lead. we'll see if santorum can stand up to that challenge. megyn: there is something going on with the romney campaign at this moment with respect to rick santorum trying to make some dings in his armor. but let's talk about gingrich and the effect on gingrich. you say that the one who should be most importantr worried about this. >> rick santorum's goal is to beat mitt romney. but first he has to dispatch newt gingrich. on the 28th in michigan and arizona, the first primaries in a month, santorum needs to dispatch newt gingrich and double him up the way he's doing in these new numbers from scott. the most significant thing i see in this is the fact that if it's just romney head-to-head with gingrich, romney wins. but santorum versus romney, santorum wins. megyn: this is according to scott. these are your polls. yo

>> well, they may be trying to shut down the lines a of attack, but romney knows he's going to get a hard time from the president. the fact is that is it an attack, as you said it is, when they're merely pointing out what the president said four years ago and what he's saying now? it seems to me to be a legitimate commentary on the way the president behaved when he was trying to become president and the way he's now trying to behave when he's trying to stay president, and he doesn't have much to brag about. megyn: leslie, do you see some hypocrisy in the president's message versus when he was a candidate and what he appears to be running right now? >> no, not at all. i think, quite frankly, the republicans are doing exactly what they're accusing the president of. when the president was running and he had a campaign of hope and change, that was in 2008. we had a different economy, we had a different nation, we had a different world. now he's running for re-election and, quite frankly, i'm one democrat who says, hey, get tougher, fight back, mr. president. so, i don't know, maybe he wa
